Can we please set the record straight. There is absolutely no valid reason for anyone to call the airline (either the ticketing or operating airlines) or their OTA. There will never be a valid reason, certainly not until you have flown the first sector.
If you want to cancel - you shouldnt have booked
If you want to select seats - youre in business class, all the seats are good!
If you want to change dates - it will reprice anyway, fly the first sector first.
If your credit card wasnt charged - be patient, it will either happen or it wont, calling just makes you a selfish ....
While Im at it just a reminder that your ticket isnt 100% safe until you are on the plane. Dont book any non refundable plans you arent prepared to lose until youre on the plane. Even though this was clearly just a great deal/flash fare sale some airlines love to play stupid games.

Did you think youll be forced to stand, or the ticket gets cancelled if you cant select a seat the second you book?
Genuinely curious as to your thought process.

Id say historically the airline will cancel within a week tickets like these, after that you cam usually assume you can fly. Dont worry about airport staff doing anything about your ticket either unless you are asking them to modify it
